How skin ages: causes, markers, and emerging treatment pathways
Skin aging involves loss of repair ability, chronic swelling, and weakened protection, driven by oxidative stress and DNA damage. Researchers are exploring drugs, stem cells, and AI to slow these processes.
Why it matters: Understanding skin aging mechanisms guides development of therapies to maintain skin health and function with age.
Keep in mind: This review summarizes existing research but does not present new experimental results or prove any treatment extends lifespan or healthy aging.
